Empty Triangle is a great go comics by chidori.
My personal favorites are number 4 (I love it), 6 (how very true), 7 (touching), 8 (love the facial expression), 10 (hey, it’s actually me), 14 (the art in there is just great).
In my humble opinion, Empty Triangle beats all the other go comics (and I’ve seen […]

Call me biased.
As much as I love cheese, I hate chess.
Chess is often regarded as “the best board game”. Some say that chess is profound, that it requires more skill to master than other board games, and chess players often act arrogantly (take that, bastards, I can be arrogant too).
What I dislike the most about […]

I want to have some real Hex and TwixT boards, so I’ve been playing around with PostScript a bit.
I found Larry Doolittle’s Hex board and started editing it without knowing almost anything about PostScript. The results were - you guessed it - disastrous. PostScript is not really intuitive language (for me, at least). But then […]

KGS was founded in 2000 by William Shubert.
The first Czech on KGS was probably makov (registered on 3.9.2000).
I registered on 2.12.2001, I’m not sure how I got to know KGS, but I think I was told by makov.
I have no idea when I founded “Český pokoj” (the Czech room). It was probably later than in […]

This weekend, I was at a tournament. Saturday was not nice, I got just one win out of three, in the first game. Second game was a loss against Vladimir Danek, in a position that was impossible to lose. So third game was an automatical loss too (you know, totally demotivated). Then I didn’t sleep […]

EYGML stands for European Youth Go Masters League. I’ve been creating (official) EYGML 2007 pages. I have learned a lot of new things, and I have refreshed some that I knew already…
I’ve…

…discovered some xhtml/css tricks (like using double divs right inside each other to avoid weird margin adding).
…learned to work with GIMP (using layers religiously) […]

Is it even possible that I forgot to advertize my new project on my own blog?
So… here it goes: I created tsumego collections.
Some people obviously like it, as I can see some traffic from sources like something.mail.yahoo.com (someone sending emails with a link to my page?). I wonder if I should write an ad into […]

I’m really happy to have finished second in twixt.ch.13.2.1 (I explained it many times but here it goes once again: 13th championship, 2nd league, division 1 (that doesn’t really matter)). It guarantees me participation in league 1 during 14th champ. A few words concerning the games:
The game against Loren was a disaster. I am not […]

W00t!
I have finally reached rating 2000 in TwixT, my second favorite game. Although I used to be in top ten with rating around 1950, I am not in top ten (12th currently) with 2000 now… the times are a-changin’…
On a less positive note, I am currently playing twixt.ch.13.2.1 (13th championship, second league), and I need […]

Many people who have ever taught go have experienced it: someone comes and asks “is this move good or is that one better?”. You seriously don’t know but are pretty sure that the difference is not big, at least not on your level, even less on the level of the person who asked.
And you also […]
